Chemistry
Properties of Ionic and Covalent Compound
Souble in water but not in organic solvent
High melting and boiling point
Can conduct electricity in molten and agueous state but not in solid state
Non-volatiles
Introduction
All atoms want to form noble gas configuration which is the valence shells have 8 protons. It is atom only can form noble configuration by losing, gaining or sharing valence electrons
They form positive ions when by giving one valence electron They form negative ions when by giving one valence electron
How ionic compound hold themselves and how are convalent compound hold themselves together?
Ionic compound help themselves by electrostatic attraction while, convalent compound held together by ?.
Compare ionic compound to Ionic and Covalent Compound
Ionic compound compare to covalent compound. Ionic compare have high melting and high melting point, while covalent compound have a low melting point and boiling point Can conduct electricity when they are in molten and aqueous state, while covalent compound cannot conduct electricity at all.
The properties of covalent compounds
Volatile
usually are gases or liquid at room temperature
low m.p & b.p
Soluble in organic solvent but insoluble in water
Cannot conduct electricity in any form
